Show and Tell is everyone’s favorite part of the meetings.

The deadline is the Sunday before the meeting.

​
$tash for Ca$h is also a monthly feature of our meetings. We welcome the treasures that you bring. These are items that need a new home and can go to a new home the night of our meeting. Members pay what they feel is appropriate but if the items are left at the end of the evening, please take them back home.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
We will follow the guidelines for Shelby County Schools in the event of inclement weather, particularly ice and snow but applicable for any weather event which impacts safe travel to and from the Uncommon Threads Quilt Guild monthly meeting. If the schools are closed, the UTQG meeting will be cancelled.
Discussion was held regarding the option of switching to a virtual only meeting but concerns for the completeness and timing of the notification led the board to follow the practice of cancelling the meeting if there is a weather event with the potential to impact the safety of our members. This decision is not applicable to the UTQG Board meetings as they are held virtually each month.
October Program
Tuesday, October 22, 2024
​
Get ready to get creative for our Spooktacular October program in the spirit of a quilty version of Halloween fun, the UTQG will be hosting a Brown Bag Auction and a Silent Auction running simultaneously.
​
Every member is encouraged to bring a non-transparent bag (maximum of 2 bags provided by any one member), and each bag should have a minimum of $10 worth of quilting goodies. This may include fabrics, threads, patterns, quilt books, scissors, rotary blades, needles, buttons, notions, etc. Holiday themed bags are welcome and must be marked - the outside of the bag should have a word or an obvious symbol like a Christmas tree, jack'o lantern, turkey, hearts, etc. marked on it to identify it as a holiday bag.
​
Every item must be entirely covered by the bag and the bags must be completely closed. All bags will start with a minimum $3 bid, all bids will increase by whole dollars, and only payment by cash or check will be accepted. Any one member can win up to 5 bags.
At the same time, a silent auction will be running. If any member has an item to donate to the silent auction, please bring it to the meeting to participate.
Come ready for a fun evening!
